The Ogopogo is a water cryptid that lives in Okanagan Lake. Similar to the Loch Ness Monster, the creature has had hundreds of sightings over the years, with varying descriptions, yet one thing always remains the same with every sighting, that of a serpent-like creature with multiple humps that could be visible above the water crest.  By all accounts, it sounded like your typical sea serpent description. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/abc-cryptozoology/support
